This auction is for a 1982 Toyota Corolla in excellent condition. Has A/C, cruise control, an MP3/CD stereo, is very clean and it runs good! My grandparents bought this car new in 1982 and I am the second, the current, and only other owner of this Corolla. It is virtually impossible to find another Corolla this old in this good of condition! Original paint, 3T-C engine, K&N air filter, original wheels, have the title in my name, it's a great car! Have had people drive up and want to but this car several times. Now, it's not perfect. Was in a minor fender bender recently, so it does need a little body work, mainly on the hood to bring it back to excellent shape. See the photos. Also the passenger door rubs ever so slightly when opening as does the hood when opening, both from the fender bender. There are only two or three pea sized rust spots, which can be easily fixed with a little time, bondo, primer, and an included can of Sherwin Williams automotive paint that was made to exactly match the current paint color on this car. Also the driver door had a couple of dents which have been fixed and the lower panel only has been repainted with the Sherwin Williams paint. It looks great but if you wanted to make it look perfect, which it can, you might need to spend some more time putting on more coats of paint and wet sanding with four thousand grit sandpaper or finer. But it is nice as it is. You will also need a new radiator, this one has a tiny leak, and if you need heat, will need a new heater core also. You can use the A/C to defrost in the winter if your winters are mild, but just keep that in mind for defrosting the windows during the winter time. Emergency break works good, brakes are in good shape, rear Michelin tires have about 75% life left and the front ones are still drivable but it is really time to replace the front tires. Does not leak oil. The stereo is new. Has a new drive train. Has tinted windows. The driver side window tint has a small tear as seen in the photo. The rest of the windows are fine. Window tint is less than a year old. Has a trailer hitch and a working flat four wiring harness. Spare tire is good. Low fuel light bulb on dash is out, but fuel gauge and all gauges work properly. Interior light works but the switch broke so you have to use the key or something to move between off, door, and on. Not a big deal. Am selling this great Corolla because I bought a Tacoma truck for work, do not need two vehicles, and do not want to spend the time and money to fix the radiator and the hood. Also there are a couple of pieces of plastic trim on the front by the headlights that are cracked as seen in the photos. All of the original trim is still on the vehicle and in good shape, except for those couple of pieces. It is a five speed manual transmission. The miles are the original miles. This car has spent most of it's nights in a garage or under a car cover so that is why it is in such good condition. One tiny crack on the dashboard but otherwise it is also in excellent shape, as seen in the photos. Seats are in excellent condition. Oh, the driver side seat belt is a little frayed but it is only an aesthetic concern, not a safety concern. And included is a matching seat belt webbing if you want to replace that. The ceiling material has been replaced, the original one was falling down, and the current one is in excellent shape and it is not falling down. Has an antique Florida license plate. No bumper stickers or stickers of any kind on the car. All the windows work properly. All the locks work properly. So in summary, it is basically impossible to find another Corolla this old, in this good of condition, that runs this good; except for this slight damage (which you may be able to fix yourself in a few days) resulting from the minor fender bender. That's it! Have enjoyed driving this great car for many years and once you fix the front end of the body, am sure that you will enjoy driving it for many more years!
Update: Since typing the above description, the car has sat for a couple of weeks and now it won't start. Battery seems fine. It is probably the starter. The starter may work again, it may just be kind of locked up now from sitting around. You can probably pop the clutch to get it started on a safe incline, or it may possibly need a new starter or something. It may be a simple fix, I don't know. Tested the battery though and it is showing the proper voltage. Also there are no other major dents or scratches on the car anywhere else other that what is described above. It is very clean and the paint is not peeling anywhere. The paint is original and is in very good condition. Also I might can tow/deliver this car to you, if you want and that will cost extra.

Toyota, Ford not interested in FCA merger
Mon, Jun 15 2015Sergio Marchionne will preach the benefits of mergers to anyone who'll listen, but his calls for industry consolidation may be falling on deaf ears. At least, that is, the ears of those who the Fiat Chrysler chief would most like to bend. Not only is General Motors uninterested, but according to The Detroit News, neither are Toyota or Ford. "It's something we would not be interested in," said Toyota's North American chief Jim Lentz, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Toyota Technical Center. "At 10 million (vehicles) we have enough scale right now to do what we need to do. There really would be no advantage for us." Toyota isn't the only one unenthused by the prospect of merging with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The Detroit News also reports that Ford, though it may yet to have been approached by Marchionne, wouldn't be interested either. "We're not a suitor for FCA," said Ford CFO Bob Shanks. "We don't see that type of opportunity as one that applies to us." With GM, Toyota, and Ford expressing disinterest in Marchionne's merger idea, the FCA chief will likely start looking elsewhere – or look for other ways to compel his primary candidate to reconsider. He may eventually find a partner – more likely in the Far East or within Europe – but it may not take the form of the major player Sergio has hoped for.

How many Toyotas are potentially affected by seat fabric problem?
Fri, 31 Jan 2014When we reported yesterday on Toyota's stop-sale order of certain 2013 and 2014 models due to an issue with the fabrics on models with heated seats not conforming to flammability regulations, one of our many questions was how many vehicles were affected? More importantly, how many of those cars have already found homes?
Kelley Blue Book has the troubling statistics. Every 2013 and 2014 Avalon features heated seats. 6.2-percent of 2013 and 4.5-percent of 2014 Camry sedans, meanwhile, were sold with heated seats. That doesn't seem as bad as 100-percent of the larger Avalon, until you consider the Camry's huge volume - the 5.6-percent average still accounts for a lot of cars. Sienna minivans are heavily affected as well, with a total of 37-percent of 2013s and 46-percent of 2014s fitted with butt warmers. The stop-sale only affects 7-percent of 2014 Corolla models, but like the Camry, that number is rather misleading due to the sheer volume of cars Toyota moves. You can see the entire breakdown of percentages by clicking on the inset image.
According to Karl Brauer, a senior analyst for KBB, this problem comes at the worst possible time. "Given that much of the US is currently in the grips of a record cold snap, there's sure to be high demand for models with seat heaters," Brauer notes. The stop-sale order is a good first step, but it doesn't do anything to inform consumers who currently own the affected models and may, in these frosty temperatures, want to use their seat heaters. "Should owners of those vehicles stop using the seat heaters?" Brauer asked.
Oh Buoy! Toyota sinks to Spongebob depths with custom Highlander
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The launch of the 2014 Toyota Highlander is being assisted by Bikini Bottom's number one resident, SpongeBob SquarePants. The new crossover has been wrapped with SpongeBob's square mug all over it as if he's saying "I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready," from every direction. Inside is a cabin that Toyota says "captures all of the beloved character's high-octane energy," but might make you question whether this is really the world you want to live in.
Revealed on SpongeBob Day at the San Diego Padres vs. San Francisco Giants baseball game in San Diego, CA on July 13, the Highlander will go from there to seven locations nationwide on a "Happy Driving Tour," ending at the LA Auto Show in November.
You can read all about it in the press release below, as well as ways to fill your life with more SpongeBob than is probably healthy.
